Was low carb, now I can't have dairy
Sigh...the hits just keep coming. First no wheat, now no dairy. BUT...I've looked into paleo many times and thought that I would transition after losing the initial weight on low carb. I didn't lose much weight on low carb, and yes, I measured....I didn't over eat, etc. My doctor seems to think it's because I have a dairy…

Freezer prepped meals for crock pot?
I am working in the evenings, and when I get home, I'm usually starving. I would love to be able to throw something in the crock pot and have it ready when I get home. What would be even MORE helpful, is to be able to prep and freeze it first. I have found a total of 5 recipes like this online. They're great because you…

I'm still not losing weight
I started June 3 at 209 lbs. I now weigh 198 as of this morning. I have been staying between 1200-1500 calories and 20-30g of carbs daily. I've cut WAY down on dairy. I'm busting it out at the gym. I don't understand. I'm not giving up, I just need an answer. SOMETHING has to work.

You workout gurus...I need advice
I have researched this, and keep getting conflicting information. I've been working out heavily in the gym, and realize that I need something on my stomach before going in to avoid a crash. Would bone broth be better, or a high quality protein shake? I would do one before and one after...I'm just not sure which to do when.…

If you're in ketosis, do macros matter?
I couldn't think of a better title that would convey what I'm asking...so forgive me if it's vague. I have been on 20g net carbs for a couple of months now. I seem to do better with around 40g net carbs, as far as brain fog and sleep are concerned. My question is this....I have been losing weight VERY slowly on 20g of net…

Would someone check out my diary?
I'm currently working on week 4. The first week, I lost 7 lbs! I have since gained two of those pounds back, and they are stubbornly clinging for dear life. I would love it if someone with a sense of what I could be doing wrong, would look at my diary and see where I could maybe change some things up. I feel like I've been…

Why would 10g carbs throw me out of ketosis?
I had a cup of watermelon with my ham and egg breakfast this morning. An hour later, I used a keto stick (I do this daily), and I am out of ketosis. =(

Acid Reflux
Hi all! I'm on day 6, and I've lost 7 lbs! (whoop whoop) However, my acid reflux has gone into overdrive. I had it under control eating "clean", but I couldn't lose weight. So my question is.... Did any of you have this issue starting out, and did it get better? Should I be doing something different?

Low Carb High Fat
I have always been a low carb skeptic, but mainly because I think ketosis is mainly bad for you...but after not being able to lose weight any other way, and researching the LCHF diet, I made the decision to give it a shot. I've lost more weight in a week than I did in a month before. However, I need ideas! I'd love to see…

I need a nag
OK, so I'm full of good intentions in the morning. I start with a smile and smoothie. By the end of the day...I fall back into old habits. I have no accountability really. I need a nag. Would anyone here be interested in checking out my diary on a semi regular/regular basis and bark at me when I screw up? I need a butt…

Does EVERYONE want us to eat? =)
It seems that no matter how hard my husband and I try to lose weight...there are well meaning family members and friends that want to eat out or invite us over for dinner (where there are always desserts, macaroni and cheese, etc). I realize that having an overabundance of food is a blessing, but how do you navigate…

Food Diary friends
OK, I have a couple of friends on my list, but I would like a more varied idea of what people are eating daily to lose weight. I love checking food diaries to get ideas, and sharing my own ideas too. So friend me, and we can share food diaries. =) The recipes are great, but I like to see honest, day to day food intake to…
